The Office for Consecrated Life is charged with the care and well being of all those living the consecrated life within the Diocese of Corpus Christi. The Director acts as the bishop’s liaison to members of religious congregations; promotes effective communication between him and them; responds to expressed needs of religious congregations and individuals; structures opportunities for spiritual and communal development. The Director of the Office is assisted in providing these opportunities by the Committee for Institutes of Consecrated Life (CICL), which is composed of volunteer representatives from the various congregations.
